Largs Pier Redevlopment

Project overview

CMAL will undertake a £6m project to rebuild the historic pier in Largs, Ayrshire. This project is vital in safeguarding the future of the pier which dates back to 1834. The new pier will provide shelter to the slipway, and overnight berthing for both the MV Loch Shira and MV Loch Riddon, the ferries operating on the route to the Isle of Cumbrae, as well as provide improved facilities for local fishermen and other pier users.

The works will be carried out in partnership with consulting engineers, Arch Henderson LLP, contractor George Leslie Ltd and ferry operator CalMac Ferries Ltd (CFL).

Update

The work was completed in August 2009, and the pier was officially re-opened by The Princess Royal on 10th September 2009.
